Johnson String Instrument is proud to introduce the Yamaha YEV-105 Natural Electric Violin Outfit. We have hand selected some of our favorite accessories to complement Yamaha's fantastic YEV electric violin. From Bernardel rosin to the trusty Bobelock JSI Student case, the JSI YEV outfit includes everything you need to get started. Add an amplifier of your choice and you are ready to perform. Features include:

The Yamaha YEV-105 Natural Electric Violin is a gorgeous instrument inspired by the organic beauty of wood, the simplicity of clean lines and the comfort of lightweight. Featuring a maple, spruce and mahogany body matched to a walnut frame, the YEV retains the natural resonance of a traditional violin. Its infinity loop-like design, natural touch points and curves provide a familiar feel while allowing the use of most standard chin and shoulder rests. Using the same bridge pickup found on the professional Silent Violins, the YEV produces a smooth, organic tone. The onboard volume control is paired to a volume bypass switch, allowing the player to unleash the instruments full sonic potential. Designed for performance, not silent practice, the YEV features a single ¼ inch output and does not require batteries. The Yamaha YEV-105 is a stunning electric violin, perfect for the musician focused on live performance.

Our very own Johnson Artist Carbon Composite Violin Bow, with a sleek, black stick of high quality carbon composite material and strung with high quality horse hair. The bow is strong, flexible, and durable, handles well and provides rich, clear tone. The ebony frog is nickel-mounted and decorated with a Parisian eye. The grip has silver winding and thumb leather. The perfect match for electric violins!

The rosin of choice for Carriage House Violins, Bernardel Rosin is light colored, medium sticky rosin produces a clear, bright tone with very little dust. The round cake of rosin is attached to a protective suede cloth and packaged in a blue pouch.

The Planet Waves Classic Series Instrument Cable is one of the best single conductor cable that we've seen. This cable is 10 feet long with a positive connection into standard ¼-inch jacks. Special coaxial cable design provides extra-clean signal and low capacitance. Molded connectors provide extra protection over ordinary plugs.

The Bobelock JSI Student Case offers durability, protection and style without the bulk of an oblong case. Features include a handsome blue velour interior, a durable nylon canvas zippered cover and a small exterior accessory pocket. Fits most carry-on dimension restrictions for air travel!
